Yes, it's true---in Cleveland, Ga. (yes Virginia there is a Cleveland, Ga) the local Sonic is sinking into a sink hole-----of all things.

As a former scientist I am worried about sink holes and running out of water--- unless all the ice caps melt and replenish the water supply we are doomed----doomed I say !!!!

Listen to me closely, step up there you in the back----- The waters under the ground are drying up---- Soon there will be no water to water the veggies with and then we will have to depend on frozen food from the Artic.

But, imagine this, when the water underground is gone there is nothing but an empty space which abhors being a vacuum and therefore draws in the land above, voila---- a sink hole, without a stopper.

In the 70's we had the coming of the Ice Age, and now we have Global Warming. I remember sitting in a class in the early 80's listening to how the world will be out of oil by the year 2000, but then we wouldn't have to worry about it since Y2K will cause all of our machinery to stop working anyway. And now Sonic fell into a sinkhole and we are running out of water beneath the earth but we don't really need to worry about it since the world will end in 2012 anyway.

Saps old Chap-----you are dead on---if it ain't one thing it's two or three others. Just keep those varmints scared---keep telling them the world is comin' to an end-----but if we increase taxes we can solve the problem and cure cancer and the common cold while we are at it.

Tusti that is a pretty smelly solution-----it would probably increase CO2 in the atmosphere also. And, dear sir, I live on the 4th floor of a condo-----what, pray tell, do I do?

I am pretty sure that most if not all of the H2O that is out there falls back to the earth somewhere. Maybe just not where it fell before. I think that climate change is inevitable. The more stuff we burn, the more moisture in the air. In 10,000 years the earth will be like Venus.

I refuse to pee in the backyard when I have perfectly good toilet and indoor plumbing in the bathroom.
